READ INSTRUCTIONS • Thoroughly read and understand these product instructions before using

the Coolant System Fill Kit.

• Keep these product instructions for future reference.

IMPROPER MOTOR MECHANICAL WORK CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH!

• Performing work without adequate training in motor vehicle mechanical systems can cause injury, death and vehicle damage. DO NOT attempt to use this tool or begin motor vehicle service work without proper training in and a thorough understanding of motor vehicle service and repair proce-dures before using this tool.

BURN HAZARD!• DO NOT open radiator cap if cooling system is hot!

• Hot fluid can erupt and cause burns.

EXPOSURE TO AUTOMOTIVE FLUIDS CAN BE A HEALTH HAZARD!

• Contents can splash into eyes. Be sure to follow all precautions listed on fluid containers before using.

• Wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection while using Fill Kit.

• Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves while handling fluids.

INJURY HAZARD!• To avoid possible personal injury and property damage, keep Funnel and

Tubes free of rotating/moving underhood components such as fans, belts etc.

• Do not allow Funnel and Tubes to come into contact with hot underhood areas.

• Used automotive fluids are hazardous materials and should be disposed of

in compliance with local regulations.

SAFETY INFORMATION


SET-UP• After the cooling system is sufficiently

cooled, remove the radiator or cooling system reservoir cap.

• Select the Adapter Cap [D] configura-tion that most closely matches the cap removed in the previous step.

• Securely attach the selected Adaptor Cap to the radiator or cooling system reservoir and latch in place of the permanent cap (FIG 1).

• The Funnel Assembly MUST be kept level to operate properly. If the filler neck is at an angle or in a difficult to reach location, determine which combination of accessory 45° elbows and or extension pipe is needed to adequately reach it (FIGS 2 & 3).

GRAVITY BLEED METHOD• Keep the Center Stem in the UP position to allow the free release of trapped air as it bubbles up

through the coolant in the Funnel. Let the engine run at an idle only. DO NOT run above idle as this can cause a dangerous surge of hot coolant.

• Add coolant to Funnel while engine is running if required.

• When all bubbling stops, shut off engine, push the Center Stem down firmly to close the seal at the bottom of the Funnel Assembly.

• Unlatch Adapter Cap from radiator or cooling system reservoir filler neck and carefully pull the entire assembly away and pour any coolant remaining in Funnel Assembly into a suitable coolant jug.

• Replace original cap on radiator or cooling system reservoir filler neck.

PRESSURE METHOD• Push the Center Stem downward firmly to engage the seal at the bottom of the Funnel Assem-

bly. Let the engine run at an idle only. DO NOT run above idle as this can cause a dangerous surge of hot coolant.

• Allow bleed air to escape through the clear tube at the center of the Center Stem

• When all air escape stops, shut off engine, keep the Center Stem closed at the bottom of the Funnel Assembly.

• Unlatch Adapter Cap form radiator or cooling system reservoir filler neck and carefully pull the entire assembly away. Pour any coolant remaining in the Funnel into a suitable coolant jug.

• Replace original cap on radiator or cooling system reservoir filler neck.
